I Was Stumbling Around…

One day, I found myself  “stumbling around.”

Any true peace in my life was nowhere to be found.

The satisfaction I was looking for, just wasn’t there.

I got to the point in life where I didn’t even care!

There were some “dark” things I tried to hide.

But this body of mine was really aching inside!

The habits I had, were pulling

 in a “downward momentum.”

The things I did…  I don’t want to mention them!

I knew that my life was crashing down fast!

Any kind of pleasure I tried… It didn’t last!

What was I going to do?  I began to ponder.

I was very confused and began to wonder…

Then one night I cried out to God, in Jesus’ name.

Things in my life would never be the same!

I cried, “God…Will you take me?”

 “I’ve nothing to give!”

I was really discouraged and tired of the way I lived!

Just when all seemed hopeless with no way out…

God touched me with his love throughout!

As ttime went by, and I learned to trust him…

He did so much for me!  How much I love him!

He took away the uncertainties, doubts and fear.

I now know he’s with me.  He’s always here!

I’ m not stumbling around!  My path is brightened!

By his glory and beauty, my life is enlightened!

I thank you Jesus and give praise to you alone!

You’ve blessed my life, my heart and home!
